[Verse 1]
F# B
Morning found me lying on a floor in New Orleans
C# F#
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans
F# B
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
C# F#
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
F# B
Met her on an ocean liner, called her Cocaine Carolina
C# F#
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty-two
F# B
God knows how much I adored her, I just could not afford her
C# F#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Chorus]
B F#
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
C# F#
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
B C# F#
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
C# F#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Verse 2]
B F#
Oh someone said if I was lucky, I could go to Kentucky
C# F#
Lexington was famous for its strip clubs and its pills
B
Carolina, we should get up
F#
Don't you know we'll have to split up?
C# F#
Maybe I should go back to California
[Chorus]
B F#
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
C# F#
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
B C# F#
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
C# F#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
